Diana Taurasi Is Week 1 MVP

Diana Taurasi made a huge statement upon her return to the EuroLeague Women, and it was not through words.

The American supestar, who played half season last year with Fenerbahce, did all the talking on the court in her debut game in a Galatasaray shirt.

Taurasi led the Turkish powerhouse to a hard-fought, despite what the final score suggests, win over VICI Aistes Kaunas in the season opener with a mind-blowing 7-of-7 from behind the threee-point arc.

She finished the game with 31 points, adding eight rebounds, six assists and two steals.

This stellar performance was more than enough for her to secure the title of the first MVP of the new season, with an efficiency index rating of 38.
